In Xinjiang, near the Tianshan Mountains and the Altay Mountains,
many rock walls have been found one after another to be engraved with
ancient drawings,which reflected various things that describe the various
aspects of the lives of
the early nomadic tribes on the.grasslands, such as hunting, herding,
exploring,fighting, dancing and worshipping gods, beasts and the sun.
There were also many drawings which provided vivid images of animals,
sheep, horse, deer, tiger etc.Not long ago, a new rock engraving was
discovered in Kangjia Shimenzi, Hutubi County, in the middle of the
Tianshan Mountains. This engraving was quite different from those that
have been found before -- all pictures engraved on the big rock showed
the form and structure of the human body, and moreover,emphasis was
laid on the exaggerated description of human reproduction. This engraving,
to a great degree, beautified the human body and showed strong aesthetic
charm.
It is really an outstanding art work of the ancient people.
After comprehensive study by concerned experts and scholars, this engraving
is believed to be a spiritual product which reflects the early
people's worship of
reproduction. The engraving also shows us the strong aesthetic preference
of
human beings of early times in respect to sexual love.This rock painting
is 180
kilometers from Urumqi in The Tianshan Mountains in Hutubi County. The
history of the painting can be dated back about 3000 years ago.You can
hire a car to there! The scenery is much better than then mountians
of the Heavenly lake. There are majastic mountians facing the rock paintings.
It is about 180 kilometers fomr Urumqi. From Urumqi to Hutubi county
and then to the road X146 to Queer Gou and about another 40 kilometers
off road you will go there.
There is no public bus to go there. It is better hire car with other
people. You may also bring the tent to make overnight trip there.
